NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
12
13
CHANGES:
14
15
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
16
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
17
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
18
variable. (Xavier Maillard)

FEATURES:
21
22
IMPROVEMENTS:
23
24
BUGFIXES:
25
26
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
27
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
28
29
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
30
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
31
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
32
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
33
every revision each side had in common.
34
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
35
36
DOCUMENTATION:
37
38
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)

TESTING:

bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
50
---------------------
51
52
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
53
54
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
55
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
56
57
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
58
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
59
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
60
61
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
62
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
63
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
64
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
65
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
66
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
67
Andrew Cowie)
68
69
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
70
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
71
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
72
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
73
74
FEATURES:
75
76
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
77
78
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
79
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
80
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
81
82
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
83
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
84
See the User Reference for signature details.
85
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
86
87
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
88
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
89
90
IMPROVEMENTS:
91
92
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
93
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
94
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
95
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
96
97
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
98
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
99
100
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
101
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
102
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
103
Wouter van Heyst)
104
105
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
106
(Chad Miller)
107
108
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
109
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
110
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
111
112
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
113
(Aaron Bentley)
114
115
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
116
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
117
118
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
119
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
120
121
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
122
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
123
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
124
125
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
126
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
127
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
128
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
129
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
130
131
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
132
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
133
134
BUGFIXES:
135
136
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
137
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
138
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
139
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
140
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
141
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
142
143
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
144
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
145
146
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
147
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
148
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
149
150
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
151
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
152
153
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
154
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
155
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
156
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
157
158
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
159
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
160
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
161
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
162
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
163
164
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
165
166
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
167
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
168
169
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
170
171
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
172
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
173
174
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
175
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
176
177
DOCUMENTATION:
178
179
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
180
181
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
182
183
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
184
185
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
186
187
API BREAKS:
188
189
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
190
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
191
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
192
193
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
194
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
195
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
196
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
197
198
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
199
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
200
release. (James Westby)
201
202
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
203
(Andrew Bennetts)
204
205
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
206
207
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
208
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
209
210
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
211
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
212
213
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
214
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
215
216
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
217
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
218
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
219
220
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
221
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
222
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
223
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
224
225
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
226
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
227
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
228
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
229
230
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
231
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
232
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
233
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
234
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
235
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
236
237
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
238
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
239
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
240
241
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
242
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
243
244
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
245
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
246
(Robert Collins)
247
248
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
249
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
250
251
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
252
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
253
254
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
255
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
256
257
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
258
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
259
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
260
261
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
262
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
263
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
264
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
265
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
266
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
267
268
TESTING:
269
270
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
271
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
272
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
273
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
274
275
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
276
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
277
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
278
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
279
implement this).
280
(Vincent Ladeuil)
281
282
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
283
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
284
(Vincent Ladeuil)
285
286
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
287
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
288
289
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
290
291
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
292
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
293
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
294
295
INTERNALS:
296
297
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
298
299
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
300
(Martin Albisetti)
301
302
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
303
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
304
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
305
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
306
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
307
(Martin Pool, #109520)
308
309
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
310
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
311
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
312
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
313
314
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
315
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
316
317
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
318
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)
319
320
321
bzr 1.3 2008-03-20
322
------------------
323
324
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
325
326
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
327
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
328
features have been added.
329
330
TESTING:
331
332
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
333
directory names.
334
(#202778, Martin Pool)
335
336
337
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
338
---------------------
339
340
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
341
342
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
343
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
344
345
CHANGES:
346
347
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
348
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
349
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
350
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
351
(Robert Collins)
352
353
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
354
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
355
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
356
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
357
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
358
(Alexander Belchenko)
359
360
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
361
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
362
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
363
(Alexander Belchenko)
364
365
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
366
367
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
368
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
369
370
FEATURES:
371
372
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
373
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
374
375
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
376
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
377
(Jelmer Vernooij)
378
379
IMPROVEMENTS:
380
381
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
382
383
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
384
385
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
386
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
387
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
388
389
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
390
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
391
392
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
393
to. (Daniel Watkins)
394
395
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
396
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
397
(Alexander Belchenko)
398
399
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
400
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
401
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
402
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
403
404
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
405
(Daniel Watkins)
406
407
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
408
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
409
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
410
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
411
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
412
413
BUGFIXES:
414
415
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
416
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
417
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
418
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
419
420
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
421
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
422
423
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
424
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
425
426
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
427
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
428
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
429
430
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
431
(#198793, John Ferlito)
432
433
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
434
#196618)
435
436
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
437
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
438
439
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
440
441
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
442
443
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
444
symlinks (James Henstridge)
445
446
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
447
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
448
449
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
450
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
451
452
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
453
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
454
455
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
456
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
457
458
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
459
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
460
461
DOCUMENTATION:
462
463
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
464
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
465
466
API BREAKS:
467
468
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
469
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
470
(Alexander Belchenko)
471
472
TESTING:
473
474
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
475
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
476
(Robert Collins)
477
478
INTERNALS:
479
480
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
481
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
482
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
483
484
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
485
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
486
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
487
(Alexander Belchenko)
488
489
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
490
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
491
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
492
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
493
494
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
495
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
496
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
497
(Robert Collins)
498
499
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
500
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
501
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
502
503
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
504
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
505
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
506
507
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
508
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
509
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
510
format. (Robert Collins)

518
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)

---------------------
523
524
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
525
526
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
527
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
528
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
529
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
530
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
531
(Andrew Bennetts)
532
533
CHANGES:
534
535
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
536
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
537
538
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
539
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
540
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
541
542
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
543
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
544
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
545
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
546
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
547
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
548
(Aaron Bentley)
549
550
FEATURES:
551
552
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
553
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
554
555
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
556
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
557
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
558
(Robert Collins)
559
560
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
561
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
562
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
563
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
564
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
565
566
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
567
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
568
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
569
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
570
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
571
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
572
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
573
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
574
575
IMPROVEMENTS:
576
577
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
578
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
579
580
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
581
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
582
583
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
584
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
585
586
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
587
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
588
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
589
590
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
591
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
592
(John Arbash Meinel)
593
594
BUGFIXES:
595
596
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
597
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
598
599
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
600
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
601
602
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
603
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
604
605
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
606
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
607
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
608
609
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
610
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
611
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
612
613
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
614
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
615
616
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
617
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
618
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
619
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
620
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
621
unittest runner.
622
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
623
624
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
625
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
626
#185907)
627
628
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
629
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
630
631
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
632
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
633
634
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
635
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
636
637
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
638
more characters which should be considered valid.
639
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
640
641
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
642
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
643
644
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
645
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
646
647
API BREAKS:
648
649
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
650
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
651
652
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
653
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
654
(Martin Pool)
655
656
TESTING:
657
658
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
659
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
660
(Vincent Ladeuil)
661
662
INTERNALS:
663
664
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
665
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
666
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
667
668
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
669
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
670
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
671
672
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
673
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
674
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
675
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
676
677
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
678
679
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
680
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
681
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
682
server. (Robert Collins)
683
684
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
685
operate. (Robert Collins)
686
687
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
688
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
689
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
690
691
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
692
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
693
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
694
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
695
696
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
697
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
698
699
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
700
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
701
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
702
703
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
704
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
705
706
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
707
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
708
709
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
710
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
711
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
712
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

719
720
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
721
---------------------
722
723
CHANGES:
724
725
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
726
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
727
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
728
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
729
730
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
731
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
732
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
733
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
734
735
FEATURES:
736
737
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
738
(Lukáš Lalinský)
739
740
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
741
(Aaron Bentley)
742
743
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
744
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
745
746
IMPROVEMENTS:
747
748
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
749
#90049)
750
751
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
752
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
753
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
754
755
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
756
757
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
758
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
759
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
760
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
761
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
762
763
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
764
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
765
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
766
767
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
768
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
769
770
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
771
(Vincent Ladeuil)
772
773
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
774
775
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
776
777
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
778
(Aaron Bentley)
779
780
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
781
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
782
783
BUGFIXES:
784
785
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
786
(Martin Pool, #180208)
787
788
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
789
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
790
791
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
792
(Aaron Bentley)
793
794
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
795
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
796
797
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
798
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
799
800
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
801
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
802
803
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
804
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
805
806
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
807
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
808
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
809
810
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
811
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
812
813
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
814
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
815
(Aaron Bentley)
816
817
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
818
819
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
820
user:pass embedded in the urls.
821
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
822
823
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
824
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
825
826
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
827
(Aaron Bentley)
828
829
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
830
#148087)
831
832
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
833
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
834
835
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
836
#137681)
837
838
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
839
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
840
(Aaron Bentley)
841
842
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
843
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
844
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
845
846
DOCUMENTATION:
847
848
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
849
(Ian Clatworthy)
850
851
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
852
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
853
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
854
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
855
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
856
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
857
858
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
859
860
INTERNALS:
861
862
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
863
(Aaron Bentley)
864
865
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
866
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
867
868
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
869
870
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
871
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
872
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
873
Robert Collins)
874
875
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
876
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
877
878
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
879
(Vincent Ladeuil)
880
881
API BREAKS:
882
883
TESTING:
884
885
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
886
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
887
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
888
889
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
890
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
891
(Robert Collins)
892
893
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
894
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
895
896
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
897
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
898
899
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
900
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
901
902
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
903
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
904
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
905
906
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
907
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
908
909
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
910
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
911
912
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
913
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
914
(Vincent Ladeuil)
915
916
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
917
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
918
919
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
920
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

BUGFIXES:
951
952
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
953
954
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
955
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
956
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
957
feedback but also incur more latency.
958
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
959
960
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
961
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)

969
970
INTERNALS:
971
972
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
973
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
974
wraps its output in a StringIO.

IMPROVEMENTS:
982
983
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
984
985
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
986
(Aaron Bentley)
987
988
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
989
Nordhoff, #172612)
990
991
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
992
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
993
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
994
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
995
996
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
997
(Kent Gibson)
998
999
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1000
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1001
1002
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1003
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1004
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1005
1006
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1007
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1008
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1009
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1010
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1011
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1012
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1013
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1014
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
1015
1016
INTERNALS:
1017
1018
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.

1024
1025
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
1026
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
1027
1028
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
1029
filename to user.
1030
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1031
1032
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1033
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1034
required.
1035
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1036
1037
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1038
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1039
1040
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
1041
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
1042
1043

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
1050
---------------------
1051
1052
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1053
1054
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1055
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1056
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1057
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1058
1059
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1060
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1061
1062
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1063
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1064
1065
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1066
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1067
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1068
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1069
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1070
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1071
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1072
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1073
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1074
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1075
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1076
from any tree without problems.
1077
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1078
1079
CHANGES:
1080
1081
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1082
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1083
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1084
1085
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1086
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1087
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1088
(Martin Pool)
1089
1090
FEATURES:
1091
1092
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1093
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1094
supported transports.
1095
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1096
1097
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1098
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1099
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1100
1101
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1102
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1103
1104
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1105
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1106
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1107
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1108
1109
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1110
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1111
1112
PERFORMANCE:
1113
1114
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1115
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1116
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1117
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1118
1119
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1120
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1121
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1122
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1123
1124
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1125
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1126
1127
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1128
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1129
1130
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1131
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1132
1133
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1134
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1135
(Aaron Bentley)
1136
1137
IMPROVEMENTS:
1138
1139
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1140
(Aaron Bentley)
1141
1142
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1143
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1144
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1145
1146
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1147
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1148
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1149
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1150
1151
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1152
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1153
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1154
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
1161
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
1162
1163
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
1164
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
1165
1166
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1167
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
1168
1169
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
1170
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
1171
1172
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
1173
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
1174
1175
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
1176
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
1177
1178
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
1179
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)

1181
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
1182
(Aaron Bentley)
1183
1184
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1185
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1186
1187
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1188
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1189
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
1190
1191
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
1192
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
1193
1194
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
1195
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
1196
1197
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1198
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1199
1200
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
1201
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
1202
1203
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1204
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1205
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1206
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1207
on them.
1208
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1209
1210
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1211
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1212
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1213
1214
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1215
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1216
1217
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1218
to be reconciled.
1219
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1220
1221
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1222
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1223
1224
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1225
specify a port in urls.
1226
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1227
1228
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1229
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1230
1231
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
1232
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
1233
1234
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
1235
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
1236
1237
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
1238
(Robert Collins, #153789)
1239
1240
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
1241
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
1242
(Robert Collins, #165304).
1243
1244
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
1245
1246
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1247
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
1248
1249
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
1250
Watkins, #152811)
1251
1252
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
1253
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
1254
1255
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
1256
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
1257
1258
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
1259
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
1260
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
1261
1262
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1263
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1264
1265
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1266
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1267
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1268
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1269
1270
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1271
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1272
1273
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1274
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1275
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
1276
1277
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1278
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1279
1280
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1281
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1282
1283
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1284
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1285
1286
API BREAKS:
1287
1288
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1289
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1290
1291
* The return value of
1292
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
1293
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
1294
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
1295
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1296
1297
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1298
(Robert Collins)
1299
1300
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1301
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1302
format.
1303
(Martin Pool)
1304
1305
INTERNALS:
1306
1307
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1308
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1309
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1310
Bennetts)
1311
1312
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1313
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1314
1315
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1332
1333
CHANGES:
1334
1335
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1336
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1337
1338
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
1339
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
1340
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
1341
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
1342
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
1343
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
1344
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
1345
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
1346
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
1347
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
1348
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
1349
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
1350
(Robert Collins)
1351
1352
FEATURES:
1353
1354
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
1355
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
1356
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
1357
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
1358
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
1359
for further details. (Robert Collins)
1360
1361
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
1362
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
1363
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
1364
(Robert Collins)
1365
1366
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
1367
1368
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
1369
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
1370
1371
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
1372
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
1373
(Aaron Bentley)
1374
1375
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
1376
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
1377
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
1378
1379
PERFORMANCE:
1380
1381
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
1382
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1383
1384
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
1385
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
1386
1387
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
1388
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
1389
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
1390
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
1391
1392
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
1393
(Robert Collins)
1394
1395
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
1396
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
1397
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
1398
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
1399
1400
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
1401
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
1402
1403
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
1404
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1405
1406
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
1407
the contents. (Robert Collins)
1408
1409
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
1410
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
1411
1412
IMPROVEMENTS:
1413
1414
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
1415
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
1416
1417
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
1418
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
1419
1420
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
1421
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
1422
1423
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
1424
(Martin Pool, #63894)
1425
1426
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
1427
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
1428
1429
DOCUMENTATION:
1430
1431
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
1432
1433
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
1434
(Ian Clatworthy)
1435
1436
BUG FIXES:
1437
1438
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
1439
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
1440
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
1441
1442
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
1443
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
1444
1445
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
1446
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
1447
1448
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
1449
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
1450
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
1451
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
1452
1453
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
1454
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
1455
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
1456
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
1457
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
1458
1459
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
1460
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
1461
paramiko.
1462
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
1463
1464
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1465
1466
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
1467
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
1468
1469
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
1470
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
1471
1472
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
1473
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
1474
1475
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
1476
contains a symbolic link.
1477
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
1478
1479
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
1480
(James Westby, #140615)
1481
1482
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
1483
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
1484
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
1485
1486
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
1487
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
1488
(Martin Pool, #144633)
1489
1490
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1491
1492
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
1493
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
1494
1495
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1496
will remain opened.
1497
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1498
1499
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1500
directory to detect leaking tests.
1501
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1502
1503
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1504
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1505
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1506
1507
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1508
(Rob Weir, #141629)
1509
1510
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1511
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1512
1513
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1514
Merwe)
1515
1516
API BREAKS:
1517
1518
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1519
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1520
1521
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1522
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1523
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1524
1525
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1526
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1527
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
1528
1529
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1530
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1531
1532
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1533
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1534
1535
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1536
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1537
(Martin Pool)
1538
1539
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1540
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1541
1542
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1543
class that needs it.
1544
(Martin Pool)
1545
1546
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1547
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1548
1549
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1550
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1551
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1552
1553
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1554
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1555
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1556
(Robert Collins)
1557
1558
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1559
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1560
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1561
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1562
(Robert Collins)
1563
1564
INTERNALS:
1565
1566
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1567
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1568
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1569
1570
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1571
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1572
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1573
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1574
1575
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1576
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1577
(Robert Collins)
1578
1579
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1580
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1581
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1582
1583
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1584
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1585
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1586
1587
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1588
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1589
1590
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1591
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1592
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1593
1594
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1595
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1596
1597
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1598
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1599
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1600
1601
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1602
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1603
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1604
1605
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1606
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1607
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1608
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1609
1610
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1611
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1612
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1613
returned. (Robert Collins)
1614
1615
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1616
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1617
1618
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1619
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1620
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1621
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1622
(Robert Collins)
1623
1624
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1625
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1626
1627
TESTING:
1628
1629
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1630
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1631
1632
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1633
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1634
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1635
makes this behavior available to other users.
1636
(Martin Pool)
1637
1638
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1639
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
1640
1641
1642
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
1643
-------------------
1644
1645
BUG FIXES:
1646
1647
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1648
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1649
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1650
1651
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1652
1653
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1654
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1655
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1656
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1657
1658
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1659
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1660
(Andrew Bennetts)
1661
1662
1663
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1664
----------------------
1665
1666
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
1667
in bzrlib/remote.py.
1668
1669
1670
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1671
----------------------
1672
1673
CHANGES:
1674
1675
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1676
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1677
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1678
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1679
(Martin Pool)
1680
1681
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1682
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1683
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1684
(Ian Clatworthy)
1685
1686
FEATURES:
1687
1688
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1689
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1690
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1691
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1692
1693
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1694
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1695
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1696
1697
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1698
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1699
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1700
1701
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1702
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1703
1704
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1705
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1706
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1707
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1708
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1709
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1710
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1711
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1712
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1713
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1714
1715
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1716
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1717
1718
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1719
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1720
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1721
1722
BUG FIXES:
1723
1724
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1725
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1726
1727
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1728
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1729
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1730
1731
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1732
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1733
1734
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1735
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1736
1737
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1738
(Aaron Bentley)
1739
1740
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1741
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1742
1743
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1744
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1745
1746
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1747
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1748
1749
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1750
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1751
1752
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1753
1754
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1755
Watkins, #106726)
1756
1757
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1758
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1759
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1760
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1761
1762
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1763
1764
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1765
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1766
#133548)
1767
1768
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1769
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1770
1771
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1772
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1773
#116143)
1774
1775
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1776
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1777
1778
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1779
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1780
1781
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1782
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1783
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1784
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1785
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1786
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1787
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1788
1789
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1790
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1791
1792
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1793
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1794
1795
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1796
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1797
1798
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1799
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1800
1801
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1802
connections.
1803
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1804
1805
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1806
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1807
1808
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1809
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1810
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1811
1812
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1813
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1814
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1815
1816
IMPROVEMENTS:
1817
1818
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1819
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1820
1821
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1822
(Aaron Bentley)
1823
1824
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1825
(Aaron Bentley)
1826
1827
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1828
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1829
1830
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1831
1832
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1833
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1834
1835
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1836
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1837
1838
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1839
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1840
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1841
space). (Robert Collins)
1842
1843
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1844
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1845
(Ian Clatworthy)
1846
1847
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1848
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1849
1850
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1851
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1852
1853
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1854
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1855
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1856
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1857
1858
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1859
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1860
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1861
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1862
1863
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1864
(Ian Clatworthy)
1865
1866
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1867
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1868
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1869
1870
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1871
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1872
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1873
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1874
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1875
1876
API BREAKS:
1877
1878
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1879
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1880
1881
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1882
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1883
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1884
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1885
affected. (Robert Collins)
1886
1887
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1888
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1889
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1890
(Robert Collins)
1891
1892
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1893
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1894
1895
TESTING:
1896
1897
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1898
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1899
1900
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1901
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1902
1903
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1904
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1905
1906
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1907
(Aaron Bentley)
1908
1909
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1910
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1911
1912
INTERNALS:
1913
1914
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1915
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1916
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1917
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1918
1919
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1920
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1921
1922
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1923
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1924
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1925
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1926
1927
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1928
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1929
present. (Robert Collins)
1930
1931
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1932
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1933
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1934
API. (Robert Collins)
1935
1936
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1937
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1938
(Robert Collins)
1939
1940
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1941
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1942
1943
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1944
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1945
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1946
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1947
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1948
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1949
1950
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1951
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1952
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1953
1954
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1955
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1956
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1957
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1958
protocol.
1959
1960
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1961
(Aaron Bentley)
1962
1963
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1964
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1965
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1966
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1967
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1968
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1969
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1970
1971
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1972
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1973
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1974
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1975
1976
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1977
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1978
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1979
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1980
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1981
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1982
1983
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1984
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1985
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1986
1987
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1988
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1989

-------------------
1993
1994
IMPROVEMENTS:
1995
1996
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1997
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1998
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1999
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2000
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2001
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2002
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2004
2005
2006
API CHANGES:
2007
2008
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2009
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2010
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2011
2012
2013
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2014
----------------------
2015
2016
BUGFIXES:
2017
2018
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2019
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2020
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2021
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2022
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2023
2024
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2025
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2026
2027
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2028
anymore.
2029
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2030
2031
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2032
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2033
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2034
2035
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2036
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2037
#111664)
2038
2039
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2040
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2041
2042
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2043
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2044
2045
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2046
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2047
2048
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2049
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2050
2051
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2052
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2053
2054
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2055
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2056
2057
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2058
(Aaron Bentley)
2059
2060
IMPROVEMENTS:
2061
2062
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2063
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2064
2065
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2066
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2067
2068
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2069
the repository (Robert Collins)
2070
2071
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2072
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2073
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2074
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2075
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2076
2077
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2078
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2079
2080
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2081
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2082
(John Arbash Meinel)
2083
2084
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2085
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2086
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2087
about 10%).
2088
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2089
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2090
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2091
(John Arbash Meinel)
2092
2093
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2094
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2095
(Robert Collins)
2096
2097
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2098
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2099
2100
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2101
(Ian Clatworthy)
2102
2103
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2104
2105
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2106
2107
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2108
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2109
2110
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2111
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2112
Meinel)
2113
2114
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2115
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2116
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2117
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2118
2119
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2120
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2121
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2122
2123
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2124
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2125
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2126
2127
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2128
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2129
2130
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2131
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2132
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2133
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2134
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2135
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2136
(Ian Clatworthy)
2137
2138
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2139
(Alexander Belchenko)
2140
2141
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2142
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2143
2144
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2145
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2146
2147
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2148
2149
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2150
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2151
2152
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2153
2154
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2155
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2156
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2157
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2158
2159
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2160
2161
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2162
(Robert Collins)
2163
2164
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2165
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2166
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2167
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2168
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2169
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2170
2171
INTERNALS:
2172
2173
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2174
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2175
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2176
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2177
2178
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2179
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2180
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2181
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2182
tests have been refactored too.
2183
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2184
2185
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2186
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2187
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2188
list, it will.
2189
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2190
2191
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2192
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2193
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2194
2195
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2196
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2197
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2198
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2199
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2200
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2201
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2202
2203
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2204
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2205
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2206
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2207
(John Arbash Meinel)
2208
2209
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2210
functionality for testing.
2211
2212
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2213
2214
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2215
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2216
2217
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2218
2219
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2220
(Robert Collins)
2221
2222
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2223
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2224
2225
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2226
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2227
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2228
2229
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2230
(Aaron Bentley)
2231
2232
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2233
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2234
2235
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2236
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2237
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2238
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2239
2240
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2241
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2242
2243
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2244
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2245
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2246
2247
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2248
(Marius Kruger)
2249
2250
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2251
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2252
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2253
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2254
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2255
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2256
2257
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2258
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2259
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2260
many files. (Robert Collins)
2261
2262
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2263
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2264
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2265
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2266
2267
TESTING:
2268
2269
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2270
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2271
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2272
2273
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2274
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2275
2276
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2277
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2278
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
2295
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
2296
2297
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
2298
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
2299
(James Westby, #122656)
2300
2301
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
2302
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
2303
2304
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
2305
authentication header.
2306
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
2307
2308
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
2309
2310
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
2311
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
2312
2313
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
2314
2315
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
2316
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
2317
2318
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
2319
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
2320
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
2321
2322
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
2323
individually and as part of revision ranges.
2324
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
2325
2326
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
2327
(Martin Pool, #109169)
2328
2329
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
2330
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
2331
2332
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
2333
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
2334
2335
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2336
2337
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
2338
2339
IMPROVEMENTS:
2340
2341
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
2342
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
2343
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
2344
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
2345
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
2346
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
2347
2348
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
2349
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
2350
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
2351
2352
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
2353
(Elliot Murphy)
2354
2355
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
2356
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
2357
2358
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
2359
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
2360
2361
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
2362
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
2363
2364
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
2365
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
2366
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
2367
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
2368
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
2369
2370
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
2371
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
2372
2373
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
2374
can be slow it is useful feedback).
2375
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
2376
2377
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
2378
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
2379
2380
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
2381
2382
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
2383
output. (Aaron Bentley)
2384
2385
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
2386
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
2387
(Robert Collins)
2388
2389
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
2390
(Martin Pool)
2391
2392
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
2393
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
2394
2395
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
2396
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
2397
2398
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
2399
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
2400
2401
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
2402
2403
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
2404
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
2405
2406
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
2407
(Andrew Bennetts)
2408
2409
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2410
2411
* Testing cleanups -
2412
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2413
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
2414
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2415
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
2416
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2417
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
2418
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2419
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
2420
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2421
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
2422
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
2423
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
2424
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2425
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
2426
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2427
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
2428
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
2429
(Robert Collins)
2430
2431
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
2432
2433
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
2434
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
2435
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
2436
2437
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
2438
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
2439
2440
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
2441
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2442
2443
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
2444
2445
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
2446
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
2447
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
2448
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
2449
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
2450
same location. (Robert Collins)
2451
2452
INTERNALS:
2453
2454
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
2455
2456
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
2457
2458
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
2459
2460
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
2461
(Martin Pool)
2462
2463
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
2464
(Martin Pool)
2465
2466
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
2467
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
2468
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
2469
2470
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
2471
2472
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
2473
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
2474
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
2475
2476
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
2477
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
2478
2479
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
2480
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
2481
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
2482
2483
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
2484
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
2485
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
2486
2487
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
2488
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
2489
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
2490
2491
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
2492
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
2493
Martin Pool)
2494
2495
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
2496
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
2497
2498
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
2499
(Alexander Belchenko)
2500
2501
TESTING:
2502
2503
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
2504
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
2505
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2506
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2507
2508
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2509
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2510
testing. (Robert Collins)
2511
2512
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2513
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2514
2515
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2516
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2517
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2518
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2519
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2520
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2521
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2522
2523
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2524
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2525
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2526
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2527
2528
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2529
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2530
2531
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2532
avoid useless cloning.

2551
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2552
2553
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2554
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2555
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2556
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2557
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2558
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2559
and unlock() like so::
2560
2561
work_tree.lock_read()
2562
try:
2563
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2564
finally:
2565
work_tree.unlock()
2566
2567
INTERNALS:
2568
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2569
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2570
object.
2571
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2572
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2573
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2574
2575
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2576
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2577
too. (Robert Collins)
2578
2579
IMPROVEMENTS:
2580
2581
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2582
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2583
Aaron Bentley)
2584
2585
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2586
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2587
2588
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2589
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2590
2591
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2592
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2593
understanding what changes have occurred
2594
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2595
2596
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2597
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2598
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2599
2600
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2601
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2602
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2603
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2604
2605
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2606
#56322)
2607
2608
BUGFIXES:
2609
2610
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2611
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2612
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2613
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2614
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2615
2616
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2617
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2618
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2619
2620
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2621
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2622
2623
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2624
into account.
2625
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2626
2627
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2628
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2629
2630
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2631
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2632
2633
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2634
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2635
2636
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2637
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2638
2639
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2640
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2641
2642
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2643
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2644
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

2647
--------------------
2648
2649
BUGFIXES:
2650
2651
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2652
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2653
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2654
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2655
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2656
2657
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2658
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2659
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2660
2661
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2662
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2663
2664
IMPROVEMENTS:
2665
2666
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2667
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2668
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2669
2670
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2671
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2672
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2673
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

2676
-----------------------
2677
2678
BUGFIXES:
2679
2680
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2681
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2682
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2683
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2684
2685
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2686
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2687
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2688
2689
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2690
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
2691
2692
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
2693
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2694
2695
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
2696
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

2699
-----------------------
2700
2701
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2702
2703
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2704
it could be recovered again.
2705
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2706
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2707
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2708
but not delete it.
2709
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2710
files.
2711
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2712
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
2713
2714
IMPROVEMENTS:
2715
2716
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2717
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2718
2719
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2720
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2721
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2722
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2723
2724
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2725
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2726
2727
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2728
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2729
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2730
2731
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2732
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2733
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2734
2735
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2736
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2737
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2738
2739
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2740
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2741
Robert Collins)
2742
2743
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2744
Pool)
2745
2746
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2747
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2748
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2749
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)

* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2752
(Robert Collins)
2753
2754
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2755
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2756
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2757
(Robert Collins)
2758
2759
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2760
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2761
2762
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2763
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2764
2765
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2766
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2767
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2768
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2769
(Robert Collins)
2770
2771
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2772
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2773
2774
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2775
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2776
2777
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2778
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2779
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2780
2781
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2782
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2783
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2784
2785
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2786
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2787
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2788
2789
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2790
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2791
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2792
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2793
2794
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2795
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2796
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2797
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2798
2799
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2800
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2801
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2802
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2803
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2804
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2805
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2806
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2807
header(s).
2808
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2809
2810
INTERNALS:
2811
2812
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2813
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2814
2815
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2816
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2817
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2818
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2819
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2820
2821
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2822
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2823
2824
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2825
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2826
2827
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2828
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2829
2830
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2831
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2832
2833
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2834
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2835
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2836
(Robert Collins).
2837
2838
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2839
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2840
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2841
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2842
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2843
(Robert Collins)
2844
2845
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2846
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2847
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2848
2849
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2850
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2851
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2852
2853
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2854
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2855
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2856
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2857
2858
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2859
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2860
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2861
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2862
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2863
2864
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2865
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2866
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2867
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2868
2869
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2870
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2871
2872
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2873
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2874
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2875
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2876
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2877
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2878
2879
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2880
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2881
2882
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2883
help. (Robert Collins)
2884
2885
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2886
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2887
2888
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2889
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2890
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2891
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2892
(John Arbash Meinel)
2893
2894
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2895
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2896
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2897
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2898
useful. (Robert Collins)
2899
2900
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2901
(Andrew Bennetts)
2902
2903
BUGFIXES:
2904
2905
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2906
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2907
2908
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2909
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2910
2911
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2912
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2913
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2914
2915
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2916
(Aaron Bentley)
2917
2918
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2919
the file, and does it faster.
2920
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2921
2922
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2923
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2924
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2925
2926
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2927
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2928
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2929
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2930
2931
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2932
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2933
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2934
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2935
2936
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2937
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2938
2939
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2940
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2941
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2942
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2943
Arbash Meinel)
2944
2945
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2946
2947
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2948
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2949
2950
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2951
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2952
2953
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2954
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2955
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2956
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2957
security hole.
2958
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2959
2960
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2961
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2962
2963
TESTING:
2964
2965
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2966
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2967
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2968
2969
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2970
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2971
2972
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2973
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2974
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2975
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2976
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2977
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2978
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2979
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2980
2981
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2982
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2983
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2984
2985
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2986
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2987
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2988
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2989
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2990
access.
2991
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2992
2993
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2994
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2995
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2996
2997
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2998
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
3017
3018
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3019
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3020
(Martin Pool)
3021
3022
IMPROVEMENTS:
3023
3024
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3025
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3026
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3027
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3028
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3029
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3030
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3031
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3032
path. (vila)
3033
3034
INTERNALS:
3035
3036
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3037
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3038
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3039
3040
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3041
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3042
(Martin Pool)
3043
3044
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3045
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3046
(John Arbash Meinel)
3047
3048
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3049
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3050
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3051
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3052
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3053
3054
BUGFIXES:
3055
3056
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3057
(vila, #92195)
3058
3059
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3060
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3061
3062
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3063
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3064
3065
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3066
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3067
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3068
3069
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3070
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3071
3072
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3073
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3074
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3075
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3076
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3077
3078
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3079
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3080
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3081
3082
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

3086
-----------------------
3087
3088
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3089
3090
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3091
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3092
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3093
3094
IMPROVEMENTS:
3095
3096
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3097
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3098
3099
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3100
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3101
3102
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3103
3104
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3105
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3106
3107
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3108
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3109
3110
INTERNALS:
3111
3112
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3113
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
3114
3115
BUGFIXES:
3116
3117
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3118
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3119
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3120
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3121
3122
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3123
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3124
3125
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3126
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3127
3128
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3129
(Marien Zwart)
3130
3131
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

3135
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
3136
-----------------------
3137
3138
SURPRISES:
3139
3140
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3141
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3142
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3143
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3144
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3145
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3146
3147
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3148
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3149
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3150
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3151
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3152
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3153
development.
3154
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3155
3156
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3157
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3158
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3159
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3160
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3161
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3162
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3163
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3164
3165
IMPROVEMENTS:
3166
3167
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3168
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3169
3170
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3171
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3172
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3173
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3174
does exist.
3175
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3176
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3177
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3178
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3179
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3180
3181
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3182
(Aaron Bentley)
3183
3184
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3185
(Aaron Bentley)
3186
3187
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3188
(Robert Collins)
3189
3190
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3191
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3192
(Aaron Bentley)
3193
3194
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3195
(Aaron Bentley)
3196
3197
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3198
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3199
3200
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3201
directory. (Martin Pool)
3202
3203
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3204
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3205
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3206
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3207
3208
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3209
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3210
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3211
in docs/configuration.txt.
3212
3213
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3214
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3215
bind location.
3216
3217
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3218
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3219
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3220
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3221
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3222
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3223
3224
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3225
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3226
3227
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3228
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3229
3230
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3231
(Aaron Bentley)
3232
3233
INTERNALS:
3234
3235
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3236
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3237
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3238
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3239
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3240
(John Arbash Meinel)
3241
3242
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3243
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3244
(Aaron Bentley)
3245
3246
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3247
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3248
(John Arbash Meinel)
3249
3250
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3251
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3252
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3253
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3254
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
3255
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
3256
3257
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
3258
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
3259
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
3260
3261
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
3262
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
3263
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
3264
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
3265
repository.
3266
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3267
3268
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
3269
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
3270
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
3271
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
3272
3273
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
3274
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
3275
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
3276
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
3277
3278
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
3279
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
3280
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
3281
3282
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
3283
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
3284
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
3285
3286
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
3287
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
3288
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
3289
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
3290
3291
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
3292
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
3293
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
3294
3295
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
3296
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
3297
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
3298
3299
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
3300
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
3301
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
3302
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
3303
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
3304
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
3305
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
3306
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
3307
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3310
3311
BUGFIXES:
3312
3313
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3314
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3315
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3316
3317
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3318
(Aaron Bentley)
3319
3320
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3321
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3322
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3323
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3324
3325
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3326
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3327
#83954).
3328
3329
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
3330
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
3331
3332
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
3333
3334
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
3335
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
3336
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
3337
3338
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
3339
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
3340
3341
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
3342
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
3343
3344
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
3345
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
3346
3347
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
3348
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
3349
3350
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
3351
3352
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
3353
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
3354
3355
TESTING:
3356
3357
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
3358
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

3364
IMPROVEMENTS:
3365
3366
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
3367
3368
BUG FIXES:
3369
3370
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
3371
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
3372
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
3373
3374
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
3375
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
3376
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

3379
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
3380
-----------------------
3381
3382
IMPROVEMENTS:
3383
3384
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
3385
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
3386
server, then you can write over the http connection.
3387
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3388
3389
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
3390
(Marius Kruger)
3391
3392
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
3393
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
3394
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3395
3396
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
3397
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
3398
3399
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
3400
(Aaron Bentley)
3401
3402
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
3403
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
3404
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
3405
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
3406
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
3407
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
3408
3409
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
3410
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
3411
should enable you to do::
3412
3413
[/home/user/project]
3414
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
3415
push_location:policy = appendpath
3416
3417
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
3418
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
3419
(James Henstridge)
3420
3421
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
3422
for each file. For example::
3423
3424
$ bzr status --short
3425
A foo
3426
A bar
3427
D baz
3428
? wooley
3429
3430
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
3431
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
3432
3433
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
3434
3435
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
3436
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
3437
3438
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
3439
3440
INTERNALS:
3441
3442
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
3443
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
3444
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
3445
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
3446
3447
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
3448
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
3449
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
3450
3451
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3452
3453
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
3454
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
3455
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
3456
(Alexander Belchenko)
3457
3458
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
3459
Pool)
3460
3461
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
3462
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
3463
3464
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
3465
3466
BUG FIXES:
3467
3468
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
3469
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
3470
3471
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
3472
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
3473
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
3474
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
3475
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
3476
3477
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
3478
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
3479
3480
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
3481
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
3482
3483
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
3484
matcher.
3485
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
3486
3487
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
3488
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
3489
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
3490
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
3491
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
3492
3493
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
3494
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
3495
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
3496
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
3497
3498
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
3499
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
3500
3501
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
3502
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
3503
3504
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
3505
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

IMPROVEMENTS:
3520
3521
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3522
tree from a branch.
3523
(Daniel Silverstone)
3524
3525
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3526
operations are substantially faster.
3527
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3528
3529
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
3530
tree from some other url. For example:
3531
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
3532
(Daniel Silverstone)
3533
3534
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
3535
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
3536
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
3537
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
3538
3539
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3540
(Andrew Bennetts)
3541
3542
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3543
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3544
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3545
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3546
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3547
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3548
3549
INTERNALS:
3550
3551
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3552
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3553
(Martin Pool)
3554
3555
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3556
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3557
(John Arbash Meinel)
3558
3559
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3560
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3561
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3562
(John Arbash Meinel)
3563
3564
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3565
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3566
3567
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3568
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3569
3570
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3571
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3572
Bennetts)
3573
3574
BUG FIXES:
3575
3576
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3577
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3578
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3579
3580
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3581
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3582
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3583
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3584
3585
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3586
3587
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3588
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3589
3590
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3591
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3592
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3593
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3594
3595
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3596
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3597
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3598
3599
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3600
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3601
them as full references rather than integers.
3602
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3603
3604
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3605
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3606
3607
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3608
3609
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3610
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3611
3612
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3613
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3614
3615
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3616
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3617
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3618
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3619
3620
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3621
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3622
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3623
3624
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3625
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3626
3627
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3628
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3629
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3630
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3631
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3632
3633
TESTING:
3634
3635
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3636
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3653
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3654
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3655
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3656
3657
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3658
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3659
3660
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3661
3662
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3663
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3664
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3665
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3666
3667
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3668
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3669
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3670
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3671
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3672
3673
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3674
3675
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3676
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3677
3678
INTERNALS:
3679
3680
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3681
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3682
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3683
3684
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3685
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3686
(John Arbash Meinel)
3687
3688
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3689
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3690
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3691
3692
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3693
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3694
(Aaron Bentley)
3695
3696
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3697
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3698
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3699
3700
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3701
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3702
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3703
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3704
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3705
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3706
3707
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3708
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3709
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3710
(Robert Collins)
3711
3712
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3713
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3714
3715
BUG FIXES:
3716
3717
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3718
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3719
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3720
#63360, #66349)
3721
3722
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3723
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3724
3725
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3726
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3727
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3728
3729
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3730
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3731
3732
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3733
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3734
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3735
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3736
3737
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3738
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3739
3740
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3741
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3742
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3743
3744
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3745
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3746
3747
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3748
3749
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3750
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3751
#32054)
3752
3753
TESTING:
3754
3755
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3756
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3757
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3758
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3759
3760
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3761
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3762
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3763
3764
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
3765
--------------------
3766
3767
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
3768
3769
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
3770
-----------------------
3771
3772
BUG FIXES:
3773
3774
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
3775
3776
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
3777
Arbash Meinel).
3778
3779
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
3780
-----------------------
3781
3782
IMPROVEMENTS:
3783
3784
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3785
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3786
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3787
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3788
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3789
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3790
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3791
3792
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3793
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3794
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3795
3796
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3797
3798
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3799
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3800
3801
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3802
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3803
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3804
(Robert Collins)
3805
3806
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3807
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3808
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3809
(John Arbash Meinel)
3810
3811
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3812
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3813
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3814
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3815
Pool)
3816
3817
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3818
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3819
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3820
(John Arbash Meinel)
3821
3822
BUG FIXES:
3823
3824
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3825
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3826
3827
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3828
3829
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3830
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3831
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3832
3833
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3834
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3835
3836
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3837
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3838
3839
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3840
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3841
3842
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3843
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3844
3845
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3846
3847
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3848
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3849
3850
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3851
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3852
3853
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3854
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3855
3856
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3857
(John Arbash Meinel)
3858
3859
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3860
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3861
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3862
3863
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3864
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3865
3866
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3867
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3868
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3869
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3870
3871
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3872
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3873
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3874
3875
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3876
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3877
3878
PORTABILITY:
3879
3880
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3881
3882
INTERNALS:
3883
3884
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3885
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3886
(John Arbash Meinel)
3887
3888
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3889
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3890
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3891
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3892
3893
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3894
(Andrew Bennetts)
3895
3896
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3897
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3898
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3899
3900
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3901
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3902
3903
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3904
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3905
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3906
3907
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3908
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3909
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3910
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3911
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3912
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3913
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3914
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3915
caller to repeat their request.
3916
(John Arbash Meinel)
3917
3918
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3919
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3920
3921
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3922
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3923
3924
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3925
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3926
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3927
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3928
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3929
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3930
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3931
3932
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3933
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3934
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3935
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3936
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3937
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3938
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3939
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3940
(Robert Collins)
3941
3942
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3943
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3944
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3945
3946
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3947
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3948
3949
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3950
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3951
3952
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3953
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3954
3955
TESTING:
3956
3957
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3958
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3959
3960
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3961
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3962
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3963
3964
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3965
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3966
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3967
3968
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
3969
--------------------
3970
3971
IMPROVEMENTS:
3972
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3973
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3974
3975
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3976
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3977
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3978
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3979
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3980
3981
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3982
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3983
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3984
3985
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3986
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3987
3988
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3989
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3990
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3991
3992
BUG FIXES:
3993
3994
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3995
3996
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3997
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3998
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3999
4000
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4001
4002
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4003
4004
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4005
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4006
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4007
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4008
4009
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4010
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4011
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4012
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4013
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4014
4015
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4016
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4017
4018
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4019
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4020
4021
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4022
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4023
4024
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4025
in handling of revision properties.
4026
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4027
4028
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4029
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4030
4031
INTERNALS:
4032
4033
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4034
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4035
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4036
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4037
(John Arbash Meinel)
4038
4039
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4040
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4041
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4042
4043
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4044
---------------------
4045
4046
SURPRISES:
4047
4048
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4049
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4050
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4051
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4052
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4053
a more conservative list than the old default.
4054
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4055
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4056
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4057
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4058
4059
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4060
to more locations than just branch locations.
4061
(Aaron Bentley)
4062
4063
IMPROVEMENTS:
4064
4065
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4066
revno:N:branch. For example,
4067
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4068
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4069
4070
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4071
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4072
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4073
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4074
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4075
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4076
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4077
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4078
#42517, #42514)
4079
4080
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4081
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4082
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4083
(Malone #3507)
4084
4085
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4086
(Alexander Belchenko)
4087
4088
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4089
4090
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4091
(Robert Collins).
4092
4093
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4094
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4095
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4096
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4097
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4098
(John Arbash Meinel)
4099
4100
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4101
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4102
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4103
grained analysis of performance.
4104
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4105
4106
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4107
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4108
4109
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4110
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4111
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4112
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4113
file. (Robert Collins).
4114
4115
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4116
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4117
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4118
4119
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4120
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4121
Matthieu Moy)
4122
4123
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4124
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4125
4126
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
4127
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
4128
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
4129
the same way you would apply another branch.
4130
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4131
4132
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4133
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4134
4135
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4136
(Michael Ellerman)
4137
4138
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4139
(Aaron Bentley)
4140
4141
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4142
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4143
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
4144
4145
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4146
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4147
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4148
4149
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4150
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4151
4152
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4153
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4154
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4155
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4156
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4157
4158
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4159
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4160
4161
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4162
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4163
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4164
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4165
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4166
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4167
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4168
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4169
4170
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4171
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4172
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4173
4174
BUG FIXES:
4175
4176
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4177
tests not to run.
4178
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4179
4180
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4181
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4182
4183
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4184
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4185
4186
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4187
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4188
4189
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4190
4191
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4192
(John Arbash Meinel)
4193
4194
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4195
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4196
4197
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4198
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4199
and y.
4200
4201
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4202
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4203
4204
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4205
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4206
4207
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4208
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4209
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4210
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4211
4212
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4213
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4214
4215
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4216
4217
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4218
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4219
4220
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4221
4222
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4223
4224
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4225
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4226
4227
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4228
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4229
4230
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4231
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4232
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4233
4234
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4235
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4236
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4237
4238
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4239
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4240
4241
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4242
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4243
4244
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4245
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4246
4247
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4248
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4249
4250
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4251
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4252
4253
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4254
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4255
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4256
4257
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4258
4259
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4260
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4261
4262
INTERNALS:
4263
4264
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4265
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4266
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4267
4268
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4269
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4270
4271
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4272
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4273
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4274
4275
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4276
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4277
4278
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4279
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4280
(Martin Pool)
4281
4282
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4283
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4284
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4285
4286
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4287
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4288
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4289
4290
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
4291
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
4292
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
4293
4294
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
4295
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
4296
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
4297
4298
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
4299
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
4300
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
4301
4302
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
4303
instead. (Robert Collins)
4304
4305
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
4320
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
4321
4322
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
4323
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4324
4325
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
4326
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

4337
4338
CHANGES:
4339
4340
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
4341
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
4342
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
4343
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
4344
4345
NEW FEATURES:
4346
4347
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
4348
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
4349
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
4350

INTERNALS:
4352
4353
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which

new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4356
4357
TESTING:

4362
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
4363
-------------------
4364
4365
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4366
4367
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
4368
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
4369
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
4370
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
4371
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
4372
will keep the same format.
4373
4374
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
4375
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
4376
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
4377
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
4378
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
4379
4380
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
4381
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
4382
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
4383
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
4384
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
4385
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
4386
indicating the current revision of the branch.
4387
4388
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
4389
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
4390
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
4391
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
4392
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
4393
4394
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
4395
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
4396
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
4397
arrangement.
4398
4399
4400
IMPROVEMENTS:
4401
4402
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
4403
convention. Paths now take the form::
4404
4405
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
4406
or
4407
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
4408
4409
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
4410
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
4411
4412
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
4413
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
4414
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
4415
4416
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
4417
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
4418
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
4419
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
4420
4421
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
4422
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
4423
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
4424
4425
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
4426
4427
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
4428
4429
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
4430
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
4431
commits::
4432
4433
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
4434
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
4435
| xargs bzr re-sign
4436
4437
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
4438
4439
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
4440
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
4441
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
4442
(Robert Collins)
4443
4444
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
4445
4446
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
4447
4448
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
4449
'.moved'.
4450
4451
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
4452
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
4453
4454
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
4455
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
4456
Daniel Silverstone)
4457
4458
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
4459
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
4460
Martin Pool)
4461
4462
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
4463
4464
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
4465
4466
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
4467
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
4468
4469
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
4470
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
4471
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
4472
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
4473
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
4474
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
4475
4476
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
4477
4478
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
4479
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
4480
(Robert Collins)
4481
4482
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
4483
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
4484
4485
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
4486
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
4487
4488
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
4489
4490
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
4491
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
4492
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
4493
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
4494
specification by Martin Pool.
4495
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
4496
4497
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
4498
Belchenko)
4499
4500
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
4501
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4502
4503
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
4504
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
4505
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
4506
4507
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4508
4509
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4510
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4511
(Robert Collins)
4512
4513
CHANGES:
4514
4515
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4516
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4517
4518
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4519
4520
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4521
4522
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4523
(Olaf Conradi)
4524
4525
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4526
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
4527
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
4528
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
4529
4530
INTERNALS:
4531
4532
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
4533
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
4534
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
4535
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4536
4537
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
4538
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4539
tried. (Martin Pool)
4540
4541
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4542
(Martin Pool)
4543
4544
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4545
4546
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4547
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4548
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4549
4550
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4551
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4552
4553
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4554
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4555
paths. (Robert Collins)
4556
4557
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4558
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4559
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4560
4561
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4562
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4563
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4564
4565
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4566
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4567
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4568
4569
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4570
(Olaf Conradi)
4571
4572
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4573
(Olaf Conradi)
4574
4575
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4576
4577
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4578
4579
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4580
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4581
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4582
(Robert Collins)
4583
4584
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4585
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4586
4587
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4588
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4589
check. (Robert Collins)
4590
4591
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4592
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4593
4594
TESTING:
4595
4596
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4597
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4598
4599
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4600
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4601
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4602
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4603
4604
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4605
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4606
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4607
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4608
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4609
4610
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4611
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4612
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4613
4614
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4615
4616
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4617
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
4618
4619
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
4620
------------------
4621
4622
CHANGES:
4623
4624
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4625
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4626
4627
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4628
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4629
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4630
(Johan Rydberg)
4631
4632
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4633
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4634
4635
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4636
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4637
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4638
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4639
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4640
4641
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4642
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4643
used. (Robert Collins)
4644
4645
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4646
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4647
(James Henstridge)
4648
4649
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4650
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4651
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4652
4653
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4654
ignore list.
4655
4656
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4657
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4658
4659
IMPROVEMENTS:
4660
4661
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4662
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4663
4664
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4665
4666
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4667
4668
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4669
tree. (Robert Collins)
4670
4671
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4672
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4673
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4674
(Robert Collins)
4675
4676
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4677
that they be kept.
4678
4679
* Tweaks to short log printing
4680
4681
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4682
(Aaron Bentley)
4683
4684
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4685
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4686
4687
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4688
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4689
4690
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4691
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4692
4693
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4694
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4695
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4696
4697
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4698
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4699
4700
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4701
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4702
requests.
4703
4704
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4705
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4706
4707
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4708
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4709
4710
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4711
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4712
4713
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4714
(Denys Duchier)
4715
4716
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4717
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4718
4719
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4720
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4721
4722
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4723
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4724
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4725
4726
BUG FIXES:
4727
4728
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4729
4730
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4731
4732
* Error when run with -OO
4733
4734
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4735
(Martin Pool)
4736
4737
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4738
4739
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4740
4741
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4742
ignored by diff and status
4743
4744
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4745
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4746
4747
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4748
4749
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4750
4751
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4752
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4753
4754
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4755
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4756
4757
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4758
(Harald Meland)
4759
4760
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4761
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4762
4763
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4764
4765
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4766
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4767
4768
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4769
(Martin Pool)
4770
4771
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4772
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4773
4774
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4775
4776
TESTING:
4777
4778
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4779
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4780
4781
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4782
4783
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4784
4785
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4786
4787
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4788
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4789
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4790
4791
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4792
4793
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4794
(John Arbash Meinel)
4795
4796
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4797
4798
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4799
If adding a new test script please add that to
4800
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4801
4802
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4803
imported. (Martin Pool)
4804
4805
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4806
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4807
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4808
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4809
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4810
(Robert Collins)
4811
4812
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4813
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4814
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4815
4816
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4817
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4818
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4819
4820
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4821
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4822
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4823
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4824
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4825
(Robert Collins).
4826
4827
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4828
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4829
(Robert Collins).
4830
4831
INTERNALS:
4832
4833
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4834
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4835
4836
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4837
function. (Robert Collins)
4838
4839
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4840
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4841
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4842
4843
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4844
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4845
(Robert Collins)
4846
4847
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4848
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4849
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4850
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4851
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4852
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4853
version. (Robert Collins)
4854
4855
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4856
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4857
4858
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4859
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4860
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4861
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4862
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4863
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4864
4865
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4866
(Robert Collins)
4867
4868
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4869
4870
add()
4871
commit()
4872
move()
4873
rename_one()
4874
unknowns()
4875
4876
(Robert Collins)
4877
4878
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4879
4880
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4881
4882
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4883
Pool)
4884
4885
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4886
query method. (Robert Collins)
4887
4888
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4889
(Denys Duchier)
4890
4891
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4892
(Michael Ellerman)
4893
4894
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4895
(Michael Ellerman)
4896
4897
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4898
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4899
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4900
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4901
4902
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4903
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4904
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4905
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4906
4907
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4908
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4909
4910
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
4911
------------------
4912
4913
IMPROVEMENTS:
4914
4915
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4916
(John A Meinel)
4917
4918
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4919
conflicts.
4920
(Aaron Bentley)
4921
4922
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4923
a separator, not ':'.
4924
(Aaron Bentley)
4925
4926
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4927
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4928
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4929
4930
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4931
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4932
(Robert Collins)
4933
4934
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4935
has been added that suppresses all output.
4936
4937
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4938
Adams.
4939
4940
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4941
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4942
4943
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4944
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4945
4946
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4947
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4948
4949
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4950
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4951
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4952
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4953
4954
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4955
4956
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4957
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4958
4959
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4960
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4961
4962
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4963
output directory, if one was supplied.
4964
4965
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4966
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4967
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4968
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4969
4970
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4971
4972
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4973
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4974
4975
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4976
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4977
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4978
4979
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4980
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4981
4982
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4983
(Aaron Bentley)
4984
4985
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4986
4987
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4988
4989
TESTING:
4990
4991
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4992
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4993
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4994
4995
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4996
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4997
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4998
4999
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5000
is given. (Martin Pool)
5001
5002
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5003
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5004
file. (Robert Collins)
5005
5006
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5007
(Martin Pool)
5008
5009
INTERNALS:
5010
5011
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5012
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5013
representation. (Martin Pool).
5014
5015
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5016
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5017
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5018
5019
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5020
(Robert Collins)
5021
5022
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5023
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5024
Magnus Therning.
5025
5026
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5027
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5028
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5029
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5030
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5031
5032
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5033
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5034
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5035
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5036
python path. (Robert Collins)
5037
5038
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5039
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5040
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5041
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5042
5043
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5044
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5045
5046
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5047
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5048
(Robert Collins)
5049
5050
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5051
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5052
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5053
5054
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5055
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5056
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5057
5058
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5059
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5060
5061
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5062
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5063
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5064
(Robert Collins)
5065
5066
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5067
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5068
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5069
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5070
(Robert Collins)
5071
5072
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5073
(Robert Collins)
5074
5075
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5076
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5077
(Robert Collins)
5078
5079
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5080
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5081
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5082
5083
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5084
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5085
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5086
5087
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5088
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5089
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5090
5091
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5092
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5093
5094
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5095
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5096
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5097
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5098
caller. (Robert Collins)
5099
5100
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5101
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5102
(Robert Collins).
5103
5104
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5105
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5106
(Aaron Bentley)
5107
5108
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5109
5110
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5111
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5112
5113
BUG FIXES:
5114
5115
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5116
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5117
5118
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5119
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

5121
5122
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5123
--------------------
5124
5125
BUG FIXES:
5126
5127
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5128
allow directories to be listed.
5129
5130
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5131
upgrading branch format.
5132
5133
PERFORMANCE:
5134
5135
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
5136
5137
5138
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
5139
------------------
5140
5141
NOTES:
5142
5143
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5144
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5145
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5146
high-latency connections.
5147
5148
BUG FIXES:
5149
5150
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5151
Rob Weir.
5152
5153
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5154
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5155
5156
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5157
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5158
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5159
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5160
5161
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5162
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5163
5164
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5165
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5166
5167
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5168
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5169
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5170
5171
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5172
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5173
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5174
Robert Collins
5175
5176
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5177
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5178
5179
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5180
different partial views of history.
5181
5182
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5183
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5184
5185
IMPROVEMENTS:
5186
5187
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5188
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5189
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5190
5191
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5192
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5193
'bzr upgrade'.
5194
5195
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5196
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5197
5198
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5199
Niemeyer.
5200
5201
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5202
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5203
5204
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5205
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5206
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5207
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5208
5209
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5210
5211
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5212
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5213
Gustavo Niemeyer.
5214
5215
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5216
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5217
5218
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5219
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5220
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5221
5222
5223
INTERNALS:
5224
5225
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5226
for your viewing pleasure.
5227
5228
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5229
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5230
5231
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5232
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5233
handling of such circumstances.
5234
5235
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5236
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5237
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5238
5239
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5240
5241
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5242
we call them revisions not patches.
5243
5244
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5245
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5246
5247
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5248
giving the revision *of that file*.
5249
5250
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5251
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5252
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5253
5254
TESTING:
5255
5256
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5257
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5258
5259
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5260
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
5264
--------------------
5265
5266
BUG FIXES:
5267
5268
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
5269
5270
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
5271
(Robert Collins).
5272
5273
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
5274
5275
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
5276
5277
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
5278
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5279
5280
IMPROVEMENTS:
5281
5282
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5283
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
5284
5285
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
5286
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
5287
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
5288
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
5289
Robey Pointer
5290
5291
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
5292
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5293
5294
INTERNALS:
5295
5296
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
5297
5298
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
5299
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)

* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5314
(Nir Soffer)
5315
5316
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
5317
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
5318
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
5319
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
5320
for the operating system is still tried.
5321
5322
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
5323
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
5324
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.

plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
124
5442
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
125
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
